Sessile Serrated Lesion Detection Rate and Colorectal Cancer Risk and Mortality.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Although the adenoma detection rate is a key colonoscopy quality metric, benchmarks for serrated polyp removal, specifically the sessile serrated lesion detection rate (SSLDR), are currently lacking.

Objective

To evaluate the physician SSLDR and the risk of postcolonoscopy colorectal cancer (PCCRC) and related mortality.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study was conducted between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2021, within a large integrated health care system in Northern California and included colonoscopies performed for patients aged 18 years or older, without a diagnosis of colorectal cancer within 6 months of colonoscopy, history of colorectal cancer, or history of inflammatory bowel disease by 50 gastroenterologists.
